Questions and Answers 

(1) Will the USG provide approximate square footage requirements for contractor provided 

distribution facility supporting FRC-E (Cherry Point)? 

This is up to the contractor. The contractor should be able to determine the required 

amount of square footage based on the site requisition/demand data that has already 

been provided. 

(2) Is the contactor required to provide forecast results to DLA? 

Yes, but only if or when requested during contract performance.

(3) Who is responsible for establishing authorized quantity (AQ) for bin locations? 

The Navy/FRC customer.

(4) We observed rusted/corroded bolts in FRC-SE bin locations. Who is responsible for 

serviceability of PEB contents? 

Once material is in the bin, it is Navy owned. Contractor is responsible for shelf-life 

management plan. If non-shelf-life material is deemed to be non-conforming, the bin is 
 Page 5 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

suspended, material is disposed, and new material ordered prior to the bin going back 

in service.

(5) Is the contractor responsible for all receiving inspections for DLA sourced items? 

All material (VSI And DSI) is delivered to the contractor's central staging area (CSA). 

Contractor performs kind, count, condition check (and returns DSI via SDR if wrong). 

The COR visits the CSA the following day to perform a sample of the entire manifest. 

The COR posts a monthly Material Receipt Acknowledgement (MRA) in FedMall.

(6) Who determines initial PEB range and depth for newly introduced inventory? 

The Navy/FRC customer.

(7) Who determines mode and priority of shipments from sources of supply and who is 

responsible for cost? 

The mode and priority of shipments is FOB Destination. All shipping is born by 

contractor and should be part of the VSI price.

(8) Will the government provide the contractor network access (hard wired or Wi-Fi) which 

provides internet access? 

No network access is provided. Government furnished CSA is wired for connectivity, 

but the contractor must pay for and provide their own network service and all 

networking devices.

(9) Would the government consider releasing raw historical consumption data or at least 

summary statistics (e.g., variance of annual estimated quantity) to further assist with 

material planning for VSI material? 

Historical requisition/demand data has already been provided for DLA sourced material 

in attachment 13b. Current vendor sourced historical demand has also already been 

provided in attachment 13a.

(10) Is it the government’s intention to provide the contractor proactive insight into 

maintenance activities which may affect material consumption during contract 

performance? 

I. We need to confirm for the proposal the process to collaborate with the DLA to 

develop demand forecasts. 

II. Our material planning solution should be based upon qualitative contractor demand 

models which are augmented by Navy maintenance planning insights and then 

communicated to the DLA to assist with DSI material. 

FRC belief is that historical 5-year demand history is best picture, however, FRC is 

working collectively with NAVSUP to provide a more accurate future picture. 

(11) Are there any FRC or building restrictions the contractor should be aware of for 

material handling equipment? 

FRCSW; some buildings don't have elevator access and some buildings have turn styles.

(12) Can the DLA please confirm when the point of sale occurs for VSI material utilized to fill 

bins? Does the point of sale occur when material is placed into FRC bins? 

For VSI, point of sale is when the material is placed in the bin. Invoices are submitted 

on the first day of the following month.
 Page 6 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

(13) Can the Government please provide insight into how much government owned 

material, if any, for kitting and remote sites may transfer to the new contractor during 

transition? 

I. Note that all DSI (DLA Sourced Material) will be ordered on a JIT basis to fill bins. This 

will result in a massive amount of transactions to be submitted to PIEE/Fedmall and will 

dramatically affect head count. 

It is not anticipated that DSI material for kitting or remote sites will be held over. 

However, DLA will provide a list of any kits not delivered during transition. In addition, 

if any material is held for remote sites, DLA will provide during transition. 

(14) Can the Government please clarify if there is consistency across all bin locations at 

each FRC on Overflow Storage? Also, if there is overflow storage is it considered a Point 

of Sale at that time or only when it is placed in the bar-coded bins? 

There is overflow because of the size of the part. Parts are too big for current bin set

up. The only overflow is what doesn’t fit in primary bin due to part size. Point of sale is 

when material goes into the bin at the shop.

(15) Can the Government provide dimensions and existing configuration for each on-base 

site as well as the contractor provided facility off-base for FRC-E? Also, can the 

Government provide dimensions and configuration of available facilities at all satellite 

locations? 

FRCE off-site is up to contractor to find and propose. GFEE attachment lists 

approximate sq footage for FRCSE and FRCSW. Pictures will be shared of those spaces. 

Please contact the DLA program manager if you need the pictures as they cannot be 

posted publicly.

(16) Can the Government identify responsibility for maintaining the Golf carts? Are the Golf 

carts allowed inside any of the buildings? Are hand carts available for contractor use to 

transport parts within the buildings? 

Government maintains carts (through DLA), carts not allowed in buildings at FRCSW, but 

carts are allowed at FRCSE. Handcarts are not provided by Government and should be 

provided by contractor. 

(17) Please update appendix for satellite staffing requirements. Also, there was a 

discussion pertaining to vehicles to support satellite sites. Can the Government provide 

the number of vehicles being used on the existing contract and if those vehicles are 

Government or Contractor provided? 

Appendix B has been updated for satellite staffing requirements. Vehicles are 

contractor owned, and it’s up to the contractor to determine the appropriate number of 

vehicles to service the remote sites. 

(18) What date does the government anticipate the contract effective date occurring? If the 

incumbent’s contract ends in October 2024, and Transition is indicated as 6 months 

(180 days) from contract effective date, would the contract effective date be April 

2024? Additionally, the RFP references “IOC” and “FOC.” Would the Government’s 

desired FOC date be October 2024? Does the Government have a preference on an IOC 
 Page 7 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

date or is that at the offeror’s discretion? 

If the above assumption is correct, the RFP indicates that bid submissions are due 

6/8/2023, and pricing is to be held for 180 calendar days per section L.2., that point in 

time would be 12/8/2023. This would leave a gap of 4 months between requested 

pricing validity and the contract effective date. For context, this information is 

important to offerors as they engage their supply base for quotations since they would 

need to secure supplier pricing validity dates in excess of 180 days to match the 

contract effective date. 

The Government anticipates having the 6-month transition period begin on 4/1/24. 

Pricing does need to be held for 180 calendar days per section L.2. However, one month 

prior to the start of the transition period, an addendum will be issued to incorporate 

Economic Price Adjustment (EPA).

(19) In order to ensure suppliers bid the necessary quantity and are able to support the 

demand levels expected by the Government, additional insight into the kitting demand 

levels would be required. Please advise if the FRC EAD qty's are inclusive of kitting or 

exclusive of kitting? In some cases, if the max number of kits are ordered, this would 

require the contractor to order significantly more parts than the FRC EAD qty's. 

Additionally, please advise if the kit material would be included in the H-904 Excess 

Contract Inventory clause for the buyback of material in addition to the Total FRC EAD. 

FRC EAD quantities are inclusive of kitting. A column has been created in RFP 

Attachment 1 “Core List of Items (Market Basket)” to reflect kitting demand. The total 

EAD has also been updated to include this kitting demand. The H-904 Excess Contract 

Inventory clause does not apply to kit material.

(20) Regarding H-904 Excess Contract Inventory, assuming that a similar clause exists on the 

current Gen III contract, this would imply that the Government may purchase a portion 

the incumbent contractor’s material inventory before the contract expires. Does the 

Government intend to make said material available for purchase by the contractor 

awarded Gen IV (assuming it’s a different contractor than the incumbent)? For context, 

this would be the most seamless way for the incoming contractor to procure a portion 

of the commercial inventory needed to ensure a successful transition. 

Assuming a change in contractor from the incumbent to a new IPV, the Government 

would intend to make excess inventory available for purchase by the contractor who is 

awarded GEN IV. 

(21) Will the Government please confirm that the required Small Business Participation Past 

Performance documentation (Include at a minimum, the two most recent Summary 

Subcontract Reports (SSR)) for each referenced contract will be excluded from page 

limits? 

The SSRs will be excluded from page limits.

(22) Can the Government clarify the descriptive information in the pricing worksheet? 

Recommend that all information available Appendix B be incorporated into the pricing 

worksheet to eliminate any potential confusion on site requirements. 
 Page 8 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

All details have been removed from the pricing matrix, and a note has been added that 

references back to PWS Appendix B. Appendix B is the source for number of 

NSNs/bins/and delivery requirements. 

(23) Can the Government revise the market basket pricing template to support separate 

pricing for FRC Site distinct from WWD pricing? Note that these have different 

packaging and marking requirements per the PWS. 

The market basket pricing template will remain setup as it currently is within the RFP. 

There will be no revision to separate FRC sites pricing distinct from WWD pricing. The 

Government requests that the offeror provide their best price that would be applicable 

to both VSI and WWD for those specific items. 

(24) Effective February 20, 2023 DLA Aviation is discontinuing the Qualified Suppliers List 

(QSL) program for manufacturers and distributors of the following commodities: 

• Class 2 Threaded Fasteners (FSC 5305, 5306, 5307, and 5310) 

• Class 3 Threaded Fasteners (FSC 5305, 5306, 5307, and 5310) 

• Quick Release Pins (FSC 5315) 

• Rivets (FSC 5320) 

Therefore, is RFP clause H02 - COMPONENT QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST (QPL) / 

QUALIFIED MANUFACTURERS LIST (QML) not applicable to the National Stock Number 

items in this solicitation that fall within the above listed commodities? 

QSL program is distinct from the QPL/QML requirement. QPLs are still valid. For 

AMC/AMSC 1T (QPLs), offerors must supply such component item(s) only from sources 

currently qualified on the applicable QPLs/QMLs. 

(25) Can we include the complete certificate of registration outside of page count given 

that most certificates will run 4-6 pages within a current max of 10 pages allowed for 

Subfactor 2 QA? 

Yes. ISO certification are not subject to page limitations.

(26) In the introduction to Section L, the instructions to offerors indicate that HBCU should 

be selected for appropriate PRIME offerors only. The chart in section L.10.4.1.6 lists 

HBCU/MI as a required socioeconomic category for an offeror to Identify the 

percentage of work performed by small businesses as a portion of TCV and dollar value. 

Is it the Government's intention to consider HBCU/MI as a required socioeconomic 

category to propose as part of their overall small business approach? 

The instructions to Section L state for the PRIME to select all applicable boxes. The 

chart in 10.4.1.6 is for the PRIME to identify the percentage of work performed by small 

businesses that qualify in multiple socio- economic categories that may be counted in 

each category. The sum of all percentages need not equal 100%. All percentages shall 

use TCV as a baseline. Not all categories are required, but the Government does 

consider HBCU/MI as an applicable small business type.

(27) HBCU/MI is not listed as a relevant socioeconomic category for offerors to address in 

their Small Business Subcontracting Plan but is listed in the chart in section L.10.4.1.5.6 

for offerors to attribute identify percentages of work as compared to TCV. Is it the 
 Page 9 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

Government's intention to consider HBCU/MI as a required socioeconomic category to 

propose as part of their overall small business approach? 

The chart in 10.4.1.6 is for the PRIME to identify the percentage of work performed by 

small businesses that qualify in multiple socio- economic categories that may be 

counted in each category. The sum of all percentages need not equal 100%. All 

percentages shall use TCV as a baseline. Not all categories are required, but the 

Government does consider HBCU/MI as an applicable small business type.

(28) When will the solicitation be available on the World Wide Web Industrial Capabilities 

Assessment Program (WICAP) website? 

The solicitation for the applicable surge items has been loaded on the WICAP website. 

(29) Shall the WICAP produced electronic Capability Assessment Plan (eCAP) be included as 

an attachment to Volume 3, outside of page count? 

Yes, the eCAP should be included as an attachment to Volume 3, outside of page count. 

(30) How will the investment and surcharges presented in the eCAP be included in the total 

evaluated price IAW Procurement Note M07 section (3)? 

As there is no separate pricing for applicable surge items, there should only be one total 

evaluated price (TEP). The Government requests that the offeror provide their best 

price that would be applicable to both VSI and applicable surge items. 

(31) In which volume would the Government like to see the proposal author information? 

Would it be acceptable to include a comprehensive list of proposal authors in Volume 1, 

Completed RFP? 

Yes, it would be acceptable to include a comprehensive list of proposal authors in 

Volume 1, Completed RFP. 

(32) The table embedded in paragraph L.7.1 shows that each of the subfactors in Volume 3 

is limited to 10 pages each. Yet, paragraph L.7.4 states Volume 3 is limited to a total of 

50 pages. Are we correct in assuming that Volume 3 shall not exceed 50 pages and none 

of the five subfactors shall exceed 10 pages? The Offeror’s response to Volume 3, 

Subfactor 1 would benefit from additional page allocation within the 50-page limitation. 

We request that the Government consider this option.

As stated within Section L of the RFP, it is correct to assume that Volume 4 shall not 

exceed 50 pages and none of the five subfactors shall exceed 10 pages. 

(33) The RFP CLIN Pricing (Page 6), CLIN 0001 “Commercially Sourced Material” requires 

delineated pricing by region (FRC-E, FRC-SE, FRC-SW) for the Base Period (Contact Years 

1-3). Attachment 1 “Commercially Sourced Material” requires pricing for a combined 

total EAD (both FRC and Worldwide) for contract year 1. Attachment 1 does not 

delineate EAD by region (FRC-E, FRC-SE, FRC-SW), please provide further guidance for 

completing the RFP CLIN Pricing. 

Page 6 has been updated to remove the sub-CLINs under CLIN 0001. The total reflected 

on page 6 is now year 1 of commercial sourced material and should match the total on 

attachment 1, column R. The note on page 7 explains that the commercial sourced 
 Page 10 of 10 

 SPE4A7-23-R-0105 

material is subject to EPA.
